A review by nclcaitlin
Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton
A memoir about the IT girl who, at 42, has now been famous for being famous for most of her life.
Like many others, I had no idea of the abuse Paris suffered at the hands of an institution that advertised as helping 'difficult' teenagers which began with them kidnapping her from her
bed in the middle of the night.
The was written to reflect Paris’ own unique way of thinking with her ADHD brain, not following a traditional linear narrative and going off on little tangents. This made it feel more like an intimate conversation rather than a professionally written autobiography.
Here’s what I believe: Your reality is totally up for grabs; if you don’t create your own life, someone else will create something based on their own agenda and project that on you. Don’t let them do it, my loves. Don’t let them tell you that their something is bigger than your everything.
However, whilst there is a marketing focus on exposing the Trouble Teen Industry, I feel other memoirs have achieved this better - I’m glad my mom died, The opposite of butterfly hunting.
I don’t like rating memoirs that I don’t immediately feel changed me, or impacted me in a great way. Especially in this case where I didn’t know much about Paris before listening to this memoir!
Thank you to Harper Collins Audio for providing the audiobook in exchange for a review.
